Temporal Tear

The Temporal Tear is a very far destination on the Starmap. It serves as a sort-of ending in the endingless sandbox of Basegame ONI, much like the role of the Ender Dragon in Minecraft.

According to the in-game lore, the duplicant sent is not supposed to return from the Temporal Tear; it should be a gateway to some hypothetical alternate timeline, in which your duplicants are hoping to see a paradise. However, players do report that the duplicant comes back after 51 cycles, although some speculate it's the parallel-universe version that has come back.
